Parenting Tips on Jan. 17 Fox 4 Morning News: Keeping Kids Warm
As winter weather finally arrives, it's a good time to think about how to keep kids bundled up against the cold. Join us for Tuesday's 7:00 a.m. news when our parenting expert will discuss the do's and don'ts of dressing your kids up for the cold.
When it comes to the cold, children ...
- Often don’t tell you they are cold
- Don’t want to stop playing or come in
- Can run the risk of overheating if they're running or active
- Can become dehydrated
Dressing kids for the cold ...
- Layering is important (air trapped between layers insulates)
- Hats are a must: body heat is retained in head
- Be careful of loose parts, drawstrings that are a strangulation risk
- Seek waterproofing for outer layer and boots
- Don't forget warm socks
- Keep children hydrated
We invite you to share the best deals you've found locally on children's outwear, hats, scarves and mittens on our Facebook page.
